Battery AC DELCO or OEM FORD

I'd recommend AC Delco - had 2 batteries from Repco (made by century) for my VZ Commodore Wagon and returned them both for dropped cells within a month of fitting - had no issues with the AC Delco at all, even leaving the car sitting for over two weeks it still started first turn of the key

Even in the colder weather now, I'd be getting 400+ km on a full charge in my BEV (Mustang Mach e). But I only charge once a week (Fri night), to 80% to help with battery life; costs about $3 per week to get an extra 200-300km.

My 2007 Tahoe still had the original AC Delco battery in it when I traded it off in 2019. Still turned the engine over like new.

Just recently replaced the 9 year old AC Delco battery in my Impala when it finally went. Was working just fine, then went to start it a few days later, wouldn't crank.

It’s a battery. It doesn’t make a difference. Find an ACDelco one. They usually last the longest for the best price.

Always read your manual/mfr suggestions for battery charging and longevity.

For Li-ion you generally should charge no more than 80% (some mfg hide 10% via software like Ford, so you charge to 90%). Also, limit fee cycling these types too, regularly you should DC to about 50% max. Occasionally deep cycling and full charging is fine. Should limit DCFC also.

Sodium ion has about half the volumetric and gravimetric energy density. Li will remain king in the EV space for a long time to come.

I’m on my 3rd battery since Nov 2021. Every time it has lasted me 1 year and 3-4 months. Not even 2 years.

I don’t have a parasitic drain. I don’t use AC a lot. I don’t jumpstart cars with it. There is no excessive load on it. Yet, they all lasted less than 2 years.

Amaron best, 2nd is solite.

Worst was ac delco. Always gave me 1 year max.

Replaced battery in my 2012 Chrysler 200 - after being in car 12 years - yes original battery - bought car off show room floor. Replaced with AC Delco 580 CCA - as per manufactures specs - exactly 2 months to the date - battery absolutely DEAD !!!!!!
